I think 3&4 is MUCH too old to have sex in front of. An infant is one thing, but a young child? That's just... Odd and gross to me. We had sex a few times in the bedroom when dd was tiny and sleeping in a bassinet in the room. Now that shes older and we cosleep... We go in the guest room.

We do when are dd (7 weeks old) is asleep in her bassinet. (she still sleeps in our room). Never when she's awake and never when our 2 year old dd is in the room. She's smart enough to question what we're doing and definitely remember it.

I agree w. having sex in front of 3&4 year olds, that's definitely creepy to me!
We are expecting our first next month. Personally, if our infant is in our room sleeping.. then no problem. but 3 or 4 years old!?! That seems like some sort of abuse to me lol

Yeah I think if Adeline were awake I wouldnt do it and def not when she's older than 6 months for me. But I have done it quite a few times while she's sleeping in her co sleeper.. And she's only 4 months

If a 3 or 4 year old is awake and seeing their parents "getting it on" that is abuse. I used to work for a preschool and we had a mandated reporting training from a CPS worker. The worker told us a story about a family where the Mom's boyfriend thought it would be a turn on to have the 4 year old little girl watch them during sex. The little girl told her teacher about what she had been seeing. The mom and boyfriend both got jail time and the little girl was taken away. As far as babies being asleep in the room....for me it was too hard to relax with DS in the bassinet as a newborn. It was just creepy. We would go to the guest room or move the bassinet. I don't think that a baby in a bassinet sleeping in the same room is wrong, it just wasn't for me.

When the kids were/are little (under the one year mark) we occasionally do it, but only if they were asleep regardless of whether they still sleep in our room or not! Never have we done it with them in the room and/or awake because DS is four and definitely old enoug hto remember and question! I believe we became more covert about it when he turned 2 or 3 and began to get curious as to why Mommy and Daddy have wrestling matches in bed under the covers! *lol*

If the kid is asleep and not cosleeping I don't see the big deal. What happens when they can open doors? you not going to have sex at all, or ship them off to have sex? Its sex, animals have sex. There is a huge difference between sexually abusing your child and showing love to your spouse. Should you just get it on while jr. is running around the house? No. But having sex while the kids are sleeping is actually healthy for everyone. Mommy and daddy wont be so stressed in the morning ;)

Well, one of my first memories is around when I was two when I fell down our basement stairs and split the area above my eye open, so having sex around a 3/4 year old is out of the question for me! No problems having sex with a newborn in the room, but after 1 or 2 years old it becomes uncomfortable for me to even think about!
